Our winner

Indesit Fridge Freezer 50/50 Low Frost - Black - IB55 732 B UK

The Indesit is the one we would look at if a genuinely low-cost fridge freezer that still has a clear use.

The 168L capacity is the number to pay attention to. In practice, that decides whether the weekly shop fits comfortably or whether you are still playing shelf Tetris after delivery.
